Brutus Malada to have found his soul mate in Johannesburg DA mayor Mpho Phalatse.
The two married during the weekend.
A woman who claimed to be Malada’s fiancée told Sowetan she was shocked when she came across pictures of him tying the knot with Joburg’s mayor.
The businesswoman said she got the shock of her life when friends forwarded the pictures to her.
Ntaka Tshifaro told the publication Malada had paid lobola for her last year and though things went sour between them, which led to her vacating their home in Sandton, she was not expecting the ActionSA member to wed another woman.
“I still love Brutus but I feel he should have handled things differently. There is nothing wrong about growing out of love. They both disrespected my family and me when they decided to get married without doing things the right way. Brutus paid lobola to my parents and uncles and he should have taken me back to my parents if the marriage was no longer working. When I received the photos on Saturday, I was shocked but it provided answers to a lot that was happening to our marriage since the beginning of the year.”
Sowetan reported Malada’s version of events. He said he never paid lobola but had given Tshifaro’s family R5,000 for ivula mlomo (icebreaker between families of the bride and groom to-be).
“I have co comment., I just want to say I’m happy I found my soul mate,” he said.
